Chapter 1062: Chapter 489: The Farthest Distance_2

"Uh, I just mentioned it casually, I’ve already said it’s not compulsory, so if you’re not willing, let’s forget it, as if I never asked..." Mu You was sheepish. From Fuya’s previous resistant behavior, he somehow anticipated that Ling Long might decline his offer as well, but he didn’t expect such a vehement reaction.

"It’s not that, you’ve misunderstood..."

Ling Long stopped sobbing, removed her hand, and lifted her head, looking plaintively at Mu You: "What I mean is, a girl’s reputation is really, really important, so... there needs to be compensation."

"..."

Mu You was speechless, a dark line crossing his forehead. He instantly confirmed that Ling Long didn’t care about any ’reputation.’ Her tearful act was nothing more than a bargaining tactic.

"What do you want?"

The weeping on Ling Long’s face vanished in an instant, replaced with an ingratiating smile: "Then give me a piece of the Time Pocket Watch!"

To this, Mu You rolled his eyes at her.

"Cough, cough, I was kidding just now. Let me think, really, with you having so many nice things...," Ling Long promptly changed her tune: "How about a Secret Art Crystal then?"

At her words, Mu You frowned and glanced at Ling Long: "You... wouldn’t have inherited the ’greed’ trait, would you?"

Ling Long felt a bit awkward at this and stuck out her tongue, "Unfortunately, no. My actions may seem greedy, but at most, I’m just playing little tricks within what’s attainable, trying to secure the best outcome. It is actually an inherent quality inherited from you."

Ling Long’s expression became slightly more serious as she spoke: "But real ’greed’ involves disregarding risks to strive for the unattainable. There’s a big difference between the two. If I’m not mistaken, ’greed’ should be residing in the evil counterpart."

Mu You nodded in agreement with her reasoning: "Continue, but be serious—we don’t have much time."

Ling Long finally got serious: "Alright then, seriously speaking, I need to borrow the Shadow Fur Ball for a few days, and I will return it once the mission is completed."

"That’s more like it."

Mu You let out a breath, snapped his fingers, and a black round ball quietly emerged halfway from the shadow at his feet.

At his gesture, the Shadow Fur Ball detached from his shadow, slid along the ground, and finally merged into Ling Long’s shadow.

All three clones came from the same source; for the Shadow Fur Ball, the other three were also ’him.’ Therefore, the Shadow Fur Ball could move freely between their shadows without any issues of rejection.

This also served as a way to temporarily place the Shadow Fur Ball. As he would initiate Secondary Belief, Mu You needed not worry about where to put the Shadow Fur Ball; he could just hand it over to a clone.

"Be careful. Investigate on the premise of protecting yourself, and don’t blow your cover," Mu You instructed.

By this time, Ling Long was treating the Shadow Fur Ball as a pillow toy, hugging and kneading it in her arms, while it changed shape continuously like Rubber Mud in her hands.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got this. We’re from the information age after all. Is she just a naïve country bumpkin queen who hasn’t seen the world? Just watch how I handle her!"

Having said that, Ling Long retreated back into Mu You’s body, and he sent her back into the game.

[Ling Long, accompanied by the Gluttonous Demon Spider, set off towards the northeast of Bitter Garden to seek the location of the Rose Duchy.]

After sending away two clones in succession, Mu You continued to wait for a while.

About half an hour later, the fairy girl who had been away from home for a while finally returned.

[The fairy girl returned with a bruised face, holding a flower basket and tiptoeing in with an intent not to disturb, extremely cautiously floating through the door.]

[However, upon entering, she realized that you had fully recuperated and were standing in the center of the room, expressionless, watching her.]

["You’re awake... These are the pollens I collected today; there was a bit of an accident, so there’s less... But I’ll work harder to collect more tomorrow."]

["Injuries? It’s nothing serious, just a minor fall, it will heal quickly, so don’t worry, really..." The fairy girl gestured frantically with her hands, clumsily explaining to you, yet suddenly noticed the nuts and honey on the table unchanged from before she left.]

[The fairy girl froze, looking at you with a touch of hurt: "Don’t you like it? Sorry, I’m so useless, this is all we’ve got at home, I apologize for the poor hospitality..."]

Mu You sighed as he read the lines of text, and maneuvered the character to heal her injuries.

[You cast Holy Light, and in the sanctified radiance, the fairy girl’s injuries swiftly healed back to normal.]

[You took out the Pen of Order and began to repair the disrupted Order of the fairy girl’s wings.]

[Soon, the fairy girl’s battered wings were restored to wholeness, her dirtiness cleansed, leaving her neat and clean, shimmering with a fluorescent shine under the light.]

[The fairy girl stared in disbelief at her renewed appearance, looking at you with surprise and gratitude: "Thank you..."]

["No need for thanks, this is in gratitude for the pollen and the care you’ve taken of the house," you said. "Thank you for your care today, but from now on, I need to leave."]

["Ah..."] The smile on the fairy girl’s face froze instantly and within a second she hurriedly said: "But without the dust protection, you will..."]

["Actually, I have Dust." You chose to candidly show the fairy girl the Lucky Dust you had on you.]

[The fairy girl was surprised to see the high-quality dust in your hand and immediately sensed a familiar scent from it.]
